“My name is Abdirahim, I’m from Somalia. I came in France 2008 and I seeked asylum. I was waiting for six months for the interview and then, when I got my interview, after one month I got negative. I took a recourse against this decision and I was waiting for two years and a half for the high court and they rejected me, in total it was three years. After the high court decision was negative, again I took a recourse for one year and half and again it was negative. And the migration police send me a letter that said you have to move out from France in one month. I respected the law and came in Germany and I seeked asylum. Then I told them everything about my history from France, to tell them I requested here my asylum. Then they said ok, we gone contact France authority, if France accept to take your responsibility we will send you back to France. If France said no, Germany taking charge of your asylum. They send my case to France and France said ok, send him back. And the Bundesamt try to deport me to France. It did not happened, my deportation was cancelled and I didn’t want to go back there. I waited for five years and they didn’t want me. If I would go back there, I would live on the streets or be deported to my country. If they deported me to Somalia there are still the problems I fleet before. And I don’t want to go back. If I go back it would be a danger for my live. I request from German government to accept my asylum.”

Djehbril comes from Morocco. He was living in Italy for 14 years, had a wife and a daughter, 3 years old. His staying permitted Visa expired before 2 years and he was caught in Milan by the police, where he was living. He had been put in the detention center of Turin. From there he was moved to the detention center of Trapani where he was detained for several months until he got an expulsion order. He had the possibility within 14 days to leave Italy spontaneously or to present a legal recourse (a counter sentence). Even though already one week passed, he was still detained in the detention center of Trapani, without having the possibility to speak or get in contact with his lawyer. He was seriously insured with high death risk (dead arm) and in a psychological shock state of mind. Because of the high amount of psychic pain killer. Administrated to him in the country. Only thanks to the intervention of external people from political anarchical organizations, he could get his right and went out of the center to his medical care. Now he has been deported out of Europe living without an arm.

„My message is I have two ideas about my message. One I’m suffering too much in my country because I fight long time for human rights. For my rights also, against the dictatorship regime in Sudan. Because when I grow up I saw many things not good like situation of my tribes Nuba in the Mountains. Long time they fight the government of Sundanese, because there is no right for us to get education, no right for us to get jobs and also no right to share our culture. And also we need in my country humans like everybody but every time there is war, war, war.

Another part of my live is here in Europe. I escaped from my country because I get myself in a risk situation. I’m coming here to get my right but everything is difficult here in my live. about two years and five months they don’t accept my case as asylum seeker after that they put me in detention centrum 5 months. Everyday supposed to get a stamp in the morning like in prison. After that 7 months in real prison, in Airport of Amsterdam. After that from now I am in the street, without any right also without any care, like medical care, without any protection. But I fight with big group in Amsterdam, we are here a group. And now I think the march is good chance for me to fight for my right, and the right of my sisters and brothers.

I thing march is a good chance to make unite of refugees and supporters to fight together against this racism system, this discrimination system like Dublin convention and Frontex because if you are put refugee without any care in Europe without shelter and without basic human rights this means killing refugees. Because that why we are here and we will fight freedom of movement is everybody’s right. “

“Mamoumia, from Niger. I reached Italy through Libya. My first home was in Treviso, I looked for a Job there for two years but I couldn’t find it so I decided to move to Belgium two months ago, but nothing really changed. I’m here without family and without work. This is my story, the story of Mamou from Niger, Thank you for reading.”

My name is Wasim, I am a refugee since 1948 when my grandfather run away from the war between Arabs and Israel in Palestine to the second home Syria. Then in 2012 we run from Syria to Egypt because of the crazy war which killed the child, the women, the man, the old man without reason and nobody knows when it’s going to be ended. after I arrived to Egypt I started to think what is the way to exist to Europe so I found out it’s the sea because my money was not enough to flight by plane to Greece then to Europe because it’s costing around 8.000€ and I had only 3000$ that’s why I have been forced to take a wooden boat which is not able to carry more than 25 person but death traders don’t care and they know the money language only. So finally I arrived to Europe where is everybody dream to reach because of the freedom and democracy what we use to hear about it in the media. But what we heard it was not really right , because the Italian police they cheated us when they took our finger prints and they said it’s not a problem at all you can apply asylum where ever you want which is not right because of the black Ghost (Dublin). So I applied in Germany before 1 year and until now there is nothing and I am waiting to be deported to Italy after I did 6 month German language course and have my communications with people.

Gerard, 39 years, from Burundi in detention center Rotterdam (NL) since 1st December 2013. He lived in the U.S.A, in Canada and when Canada deported him back to Burundi, he asked for asylum in the Netherlands. Rejected. Now he is for the 2nd time in detention. He suffers, is depressed. He wants a normal life. In Burundi he will be jailed for 12 years, because he is homosexual. He wants Freedom no Jail. He still believes in God. He thanks all freedom fighters for marching.

“This is start of changing for whole refugees in the world. I come from Libya, crossing Italy and live in Berlin now. In Berlin, people meet and start to change situation of refugees. To take power for change I need everyone from this world – no matter of nation or anything – just humans who get together and get closer while they are talking with each other. I think the March for Freedom and this camp are a Symbol for the whole world. For people from different continents it’s sometimes difficult to contact each other – but its greatest thing because it’s open minded, fun, and it’s necessary because refugees are part of Europa and Europeans are part of the world.”

First thing I want is freedom of movement and the papers for all and rights like citizen in Europe for all the people. No Frontex for Citizen. Why is Frontex existing only for the refugees and migrants?

I don’t care who you are and where you from, which color, which nationality you have, what I know what I care, we have same blood. And we are human beings. Nobody is more important than others. If you are any religion or any race or any are you must respect human being. Nobody going out of mother country because of nothing. He has something, if you wane help him, solve his problem first, after that ask him why he is here. Because if you ask something and you cannot help, better to not ask. What happened before is happened, now we are in the present and we fight for future. For that we are in tent camp in Brussels now. Different nationality and different colors and different problems. Refugees and immigrants. But we have same enemy. This message is from me to all brother and sister who are like me, to be strong and not give up until your get your rights. Nobody is stronger than others. It just government and the government is elected from citizens of countries where you are suffering. If you wane solve your problem you must mobilize those who select government. To stand up with you then you have power and can change something. And from today we must start working mobilizing in every country we are there, if you are refuge or migrant we don’t care you are human like us. And we support you.
